What country are you in? In the US, the dealer would have to show that the color of the car was responsible for the engine failure in order to refuse warranty repair...
@shahano I know you said you’re not in the USA but FYI the above refers to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975(?) which protects consumers from the dealer doing exactly what they have done. You have to prove that any modification made was the cause of the failure. Good luck.
Get a tow truck and get your car out of there. Go to another dealer and inform Porsche headquarters about what is happening. A paint job and the engine being blown have ZERO connection!
Unfortunately there is only 1 dealer where we live, so we dont have much options other than the main dealer of the country.

The problems are exactly the same as other GT3 members have described on the forum. Driving it hard, received a warning to check engine. Turn off and turn back on, cars runs fine, once you pass 7,000 or so RPM it comes back. took in to the service and they identified misfire in cylinder 4. Car has about 10,000 miles. Driven hard, but never tracked as we dont have a track here.

Not sure we have this in our country. Will have to double check
